Chapter 904 The Welfare and Test of the Warriors
Wizards use the mind as their power. When the emotions, will, desires, etc. in their hearts are turned into forces to change the world, at the same time, all these things in their hearts will become more and more extreme by magic power.
Therefore, the wizarding world will never lack careerists.
No one likes to be controlled by others. The future of life, career, etc. all depend on other people's moods, which is simply too scary.
Lockhart is undoubtedly an extremely smart person. After observing that the thousands of young wizards selected actually represented the top group of the new generation of the wizarding world, he was keenly aware of the significance of this competition to the wizarding world. The importance of the times.
So he, in the name of the 'Top 100 Tournament Organizing Committee', joined forces with Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the cottage, the Ministry of Magic, the Ebbo family, the Malfoy family, etc., to prepare a "Hundred Hundred Contest Organizing Committee". Strong Competition Newspaper.
Running this newspaper is of great significance to Lockhart. The biggest difference between it and "Hogwarts Weekly" is that it does not need Dumbledore's approval to continue to serve as the editor-in-chief.
Later, Lockhart saw more and more collaborators and raised more financial resources, and even more ambitiously named this newspaper—"Wizard Tournament News"!
Fate is sometimes so magical. Just a moment ago, Lockhart was the editor-in-chief of a certain European school magazine, but he seized the opportunity to host the "Top 100 Competition" and became an international-level newspaper with clients all over the world. editor in chief.
There are even younger brothers, that is, the group of young reporters who were taught by him hard to study in the school newspaper.
"Anton, you must support me!"
Lockhart came to the hut early in the morning to cling to Anton who was sorting out the manuscripts of gray magic theory, "You are the chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Top 100 Tournament, please write an article for my newspaper, please, please, Help me!"
Anton raised his head from behind the long table with a strange expression, and looked at Lockhart in astonishment, "The president of the organizing committee?"
"When did I have such a name?"
"I do not know how?"
Hannah, Anna, and Hermione at the round table on the sofa in the middle of the hall were talking about something. Hearing this, they raised their heads and looked over. Hermione hesitated to speak, and Anna covered her mouth and grinned.
Hannah even rolled her eyes directly, "Oh, Anton, I have never seen a more unreliable person than you, you are the one who proposed to start the Top 100 Tournament, you are not only the chief founder , and of course the chairman of the organizing committee!"
Anton blinked innocently, "Would it be strange if I said that I don't even know what the organizing committee is?"
"Heh~" Hannah sneered, "It's not surprising at all, because Neville and Percy attended these meetings for you. Sometimes they were even so angry that they wanted to fight with others. After coming back, we discussed it for a long time and thought about it. A lot of countermeasures. I guess, you don’t know about these, do you?”
"???"
Anton turned his head to look at Anna, and Anna nodded at him narrowly.
"Oh~"
He scratched his head in embarrassment, "Merlin's colorful plush socks!"
"Anton~~" Lockhart called out, interrupting these meaningless crooked buildings, and looked at him seriously, "Help me, you know this is very important to me."
"Okay, okay~" Lockhart looked so pitiful, he squeezed his eyelids desperately, trying to make a few tears, Anton was really afraid that he would burst his eyeballs, and he walked helplessly from the side He took out a piece of blank manuscript paper from a pile of blank manuscript paper, picked up a quill pen and dipped it in ink.
"What are you going to write?"
"Anything is fine!" Seeing Anton's promise, Lockhart laughed excitedly, "Ha, it's fine, your favorite magic theory, or some ideas about this event, or even about wizards New era, everything is fine!"
Anton thought for a while and nodded, then picked up his pen and started writing without any hesitation.
Magic Theory... Event Information... A New Age of Wizardry...
Proposition composition, he understands.
"In fact, I really have something to add to the next level. I was hesitating whether to add it or not." Anton murmured while writing.
"Walter?" Lockhart stared at Anton with wide eyes. "Isn't the second stage where the brave enter the 'monster maze' to challenge the monsters to get the treasure chest? Everyone has discussed the process, and we have carefully selected a lot of people for this. Escort on dangerous levels!"
He was really a little scared, thinking that it was Anton who came out, the Top 100 Tournament was not only Anton's, but also all members of the Ministry of Magic, all the little wizards participating in the competition, and the entire wizard The world's attention is tied to every ordinary person like him who hopes to rely on this event to make a comeback.
"What else are you going to add?" Lockhart regretted coming to Anton.
Anton stopped writing, and smiled slightly, "It turned out that the design of this level was not that simple. It was done according to the idea of preparing a large-scale ritual magic, but later I found it troublesome. Seeing that you have discussed it again, just forget it."
"Ritual magic!!!" Lockhart screamed out of composure, causing the surrounding friends to look over, "What magic ritual?"
Anton shrugged indifferently, "It is to use the reaction caused by the brave man challenging the monster, and take the opportunity to turn Muggles into wizards."
Lockhart took a breath, leaned back, and looked at Anton with wide eyes in disbelief.
Hermione, who was secretly putting up her ears on the other side of the round sofa table, turned her head violently, a bucket fell to the ground with a bang, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to find that Dudley walked in at some point, breathing heavily. Watch it all.
"You...you can really do this? Muggle? Not a Muggle Squib? You know it's a completely different concept!" Lockhart's words became hurried.
In fact, the principle is quite simple.
There are no monsters in the so-called 'Monster Labyrinth', all of them are Boggarts.
This kind of black magic creature will become the kind of thing that the wizard fears the most. Based on this characteristic, Anton can make them change in the expected direction as long as he uses the confusion spell of the gray magic casting method to guide them a little.
For example, the news released this time said that this is a monster maze, and everyone will be frantically discussing what kind of monsters there will be, whether it is a dementor or something, will make these Boggarts into monsters that the contestants fear.
He used this method against Harry and the others in the hut last time, and it worked perfectly. Even when Harry faced this Boggart, it wouldn't turn into a dementor, Voldemort, or the corpse of his dead parents. .
Therefore, the theme of this competition is actually to overcome the inner fear. Warriors can overcome with courage or wisdom.
Anton is looking forward to some warriors discovering that this is a Boggart, and then use "funny funny" to solve this Boggart and easily pass the challenge.
As for Anton's so-called ritual magic...
It was the gray magic that he had studied during this time.
The collective consciousness breeds the environment of gray magic magic power, and the magic power environment affects individuals to breed black magic creatures. After people eliminate the black magic creatures with spiritual power, they will find that they leave traces of the magic power of black magic creatures in their hearts.
And the soul with traces of this magical power will continue to affect the human body. This is what Professor Snape taught about the relationship between the soul and the body.
And this kind of physical characteristics that change according to the change of the soul, and the ability to allow humans to leverage magic power, is actually the so-called wizard blood.
See, it's very simple.
Based on this theory.
Anton has artificially created a magical environment of collective consciousness in the first level.
Of course, I would like to try to artificially create artificial wizard blood.
"There is a high probability of success." Anton scratched his head, hesitantly, "But it will be troublesome to do so, I am hesitating whether to add it."
"Add it in!!!" Lockhart exclaimed excitedly, his voice even broken, "Anton, you have no idea what you're doing! You're going to change the world! Oh~, Merlin's beard, I Regardless of these, I don't know what will happen, but I do know that this will definitely make this 'Top 100 Tournament' a legend in the history of magic!"
Anton quickly leaned back, avoiding Lockhart who was yelling and spitting excitedly, and turned to look at his friends. Seeing that everyone looked excited, there was no need to shrug.
"Well, well, what a big deal."
He picked up the quill again and wrote, "I will roughly explain the principle of this matter, oh, I hope someone can understand."
Anton thought for a while. If the black magic creature played a role in his refusal to disclose, this kind of understanding may be even more difficult.
But can not write up ah. It's a headache, if someone guesses the black magic creature's Boggart in advance, then aside from the competition, the ritual magic of the collective consciousness magic atmosphere that this competition will stimulate may not be able to come out.
Forget it, who cares, if you can't understand it, you can't understand it, he has already explained it.
"In this way, there is also information about the event..." Anton still remembered Lockhart's request for a manuscript, "Every brave man can bring a Muggle, they need to protect the Muggle to participate in the challenge, and then the items in the treasure chest have to be exchanged. Drop it, and replace it with the potion needed for ritual magic..."
"The warrior defeated the monster and got the potion from the treasure chest, and gave the Muggle to drink it on the spot. This is the specific process."
He wrote extremely fast, and he wrote a large article in an eloquent manner, and wrote the title at the top of the page-"Conjectures on the Origin of Wizards, and the Benefits and Trials of Warriors".
After finishing writing, he suddenly thought of something, and looked up at the housekeeper Hannah, "The preparation of these potions is very troublesome and expensive, remember to take back the rewards that were originally planned to be placed in the treasure chest, hehe, so we can return You can make a small fortune."
The corners of Hannah's eyes twitched, and she couldn't understand Anton's brain circuit, "Anton, do you know that you will change everything and focus on these things?"
Anton chuckled, and was about to say something, when he saw Hermione running towards the door like crazy, he couldn't help but froze, "What is she doing? Suddenly thought that the gas at home is not turned off? "
Hannah spread her hands to express that she didn't know, but Anna tilted her head slightly and looked at Hermione's back with a smile, "She always hoped that her parents could become wizards, I guess she went to find Harry, hoping He can help himself share a spot."
Anton blinked, "She can tell me directly, don't talk about arranging one more person, bringing all relatives and friends over, it's just a few more potions, what's the big deal?"
Anna shook her head, and took a sip of the flower tea in her hand, "Her thinking habits seem to be more inclined to do things within the rules and regulations, and she may not think of this."
"..." Anton shrugged, and handed the manuscript to Lockhart who was still excited, "It doesn't matter, just pay attention, if she needs it, you can tell her."
